Problems solved by technology

Current portable computer devices (such as notebooks (NB), ultra mobile personal computers (UMPC), personal digital assistants (PDA), Internet accessible mobile phones, and the like) are not cheap and are often stolen, due in part to their smaller and lighter, size and weight.
When a portable computer device is stolen, possibility for retrieving the device is minimal, as thieves may reinstall the operating system or change hardware components, increasing identification difficulty.
Additionally, owners of stolen portable computer devices usually have not recourse in providing related device information to track down the device.

Abstract

A burglarproof method for portable computer devices is disclosed. When a portable computer device is activated, an IC thereof registers user data to a data server using an internal network device thereof and creates and uploads a hardware data table generated based on detection results by a BIOS to the data server. The hardware data table comprises an IP and a status field representing a use status of the portable computer device. When the status field represents “stolen”, the IC activates a stolen display function to lock a screen of the portable computer device to be incapable of performing any operations by users and performs a corresponding operation.
